My question is "How far behind the new Mini will the announcement of a new(higher performing) 4 or 6 tuner Tivo be??" Will it coincide with the end of the Premiere 4/Stream bundle special(Mar. 11) or is this just wishful thinking on my part"

It looks like they extended the Premiere 4/Stream bundle promotion. I just got an email about it where the fine print says it's available until March 17th. I wonder if this means they're pushing out the release another week?

Thanks for the heads up on the change. They still have not changed the notice on the website. Could the March 17th extension be for current subscribers only?

Got a question for the Mini owners, can you use a Tivo wireless adapter instead of a direct ethernet connection? If not, I guess I could extend my network using a Apple Express 2 and then run the ethernet from there

BB management are saying the 17th as well, so I bet it will be another week.

I went by the Springfield VA, Best Buy on the way back from a movie with my GF.
I gave the Magnolia Rep the model and the SKU and they could not find any info about the Mini.

I had them pull it all up at store in our region as well. Springfield was on the list as having zero in stock. With at least one store on order or in transit and 12 in the MD warehouse. I'd rather not run the screenshot/photo as I don't want to get this guy in any sort of trouble. So your guy didn't check the regional inventory thing or they've been hidden. But the SKU definitely brought it up with the correct pricing (as we know it).

I picked one up this PM. Activation had a minor glitch on line. I called TIVO CS and they said it couldn't be activated until tomorrow. Tried the online activation a second time and it went right through.

There was no delay after activation. I went to the TV and the setup process was a snap.

So far everything is as advertised and as other posters have noted. I am very happy with the small form. It replaces a Verizon DCT700, and gives me HD, guide and bells and whistles of a normal DVR. A big step forward!!

I live in the Southern MD area and I was told the same thing (on Saturday afternoon about being 12 in the warehouse). He told me Waldorf had two in transit and my best buy wouldn't be getting any at all. (My store is not a Magnolia store). I didn't care to order at that time. When I came home last night and read your post about 12 for the whole East region, I ran back to the store to order two. I didn't realize there was only one warehouse for all these stores. Mine are suppose to come in on Thursday.

My problem is I was looking for a package deal with Tivo with a 4XL and the minis. I don't have a Tivo now so I was hoping for some kind of deal.

I went into a BB to see if they be chance had any, and I was really depressed at how poor the selection of HT stuff is at BB. It wasn't a Magnolia, however, so I doubt it would ever have the Mini, unless they update it to work with the 2-tuner boxes that this store sells.

Got a question for the Mini owners, can you use a Tivo wireless adapter instead of a direct ethernet connection? If not, I guess I could extend my network using a Apple Express 2 and then run the ethernet from there

I couldn't tell you. I have mine hooked to my wired network. Everything is very quick! There is about a 4.5 second delay when "channel surfing" as discussed previously, but I only surf the guide.

I zoomed in to cmonroe's picture in comment one. It says that only ethernet or coax connections (MoCA Network Adapter) will work. I think wireless would be too slow.

Also, as I was typing this I noticed that Tivo's website was just updated to include the Mini. Looks like it's live now!

Yay, this is exciting. I just placed an order using the TiVo Premiere 4 + Stream Bundle promotion (kept the Premiere 4 and MoCA Network Adapter but not the Stream) for a $78 savings and added one Mini at the regular $99.99 price. I've been wanting to upgrade to the Premiere 4 but had no reason to since Comcast On Demand from Tivo isn't available in my Minneapolis suburb yet. The Mini is definitely worth it plus I'll be ready if Comcast ever gets the service working in the SW suburbs. I would have bought everything at Best Buy tomorrow if it weren't for the deal. I hope it ships fast.

I just bought a Mini w/lifetime & 3 year warranty for $295.97 & free shipping. I already have my 2 tuner Premiere w/lifetime & 3 year warranty sold for what I paid for it to my friend. Now I just have to wait to get it to start playing with.

A Mini won't work with a 2 tuner Premier. It will only work with a 4 tuner Tivo. Do you have one of those also?

Yeah, I expect TiVo will get a LOT of returns because of this limitation. I'm sure that within a couple of weeks that during checkout they will have giant bold flashing things reminding customers they have to have a 4 tuner TiVo for this product to work.

Better yet, they could check their account and if they don't own a 4 tuner TiVo they just won't allow sale of the item to that customer without talking to a customer service rep.
